Today the KAY Club hosted almost 40 pre-K through 5th grade girls at their annual Girls Rock Fundraiser. This event helps raise money to send a KAY member to KAY camp this summer. The girls play games, do their hair and nails, enjoy a snack and create a craft. A huge thank you to all that participated and to our KAY members and 8th grade volunteers!! We couldn't do it without you!
Prom season is right around the corner!
The Belleville Public Library has a great selection of beautiful dresses, shoes, jewelry, and even some prom attire for the guys. (It’s a stylish and eco-friendly way to get ready for prom, while helping items get a second life! Items are free for the taking, but feel free to make a trade if you so wish!)
If you have any formal wear or prom items you’d like to donate, feel free to drop them off at the library. They are especially looking for more items for the guys!

Feeling so blessed and proud to be a Buffalo today. Today was Senior Project Work Day at the High School, and I am so proud of our Seniors. I am also thankful for such a supportive community, who so selflessly give their time to support our young people. Here is just a few pictures from today. Brekyn and Traven learning how to recondition an engine valve at S & P for an engine rebuild, Aden working on some gears at Gardner Repair shop in his top to bottom rebuild of a 3-Wheeler, and Manny studying the physics of a fire with firefighter Skyler Tuxhorn to better understand how to combat house fires. These are just a few examples of the amazing kids and investment from our community.
Reminder: Junior High Track will start practice on Monday, March 9 from 3:45-5:30. There will be a parent's meeting on Tuesday, March 10 at 5:30 in the New Gym.
